Written with Marcela Cossíos. Phaedra is @atenea, the YouTuber who sank a presidential frontrunner’s candidacy with a single tool: the truth. From her channel she makes and breaks political careers. Fourteen years after her husband threw him out of that house, Christian, Saúl’s son from his first marriage, comes back, now a diplomat and engaged to a woman who looks far too much like the Phaedra he remembers. Their arguments awaken an old desire. The next morning, Christian pulls back; rejected, Phaedra turns her media power against her own family. The Greek myth of Phaedra in the age of post-truth, where a screen does the work of the gods.
